Dwell at 1600

I would strongly advise against renting at Dwell@1600. The unit I lived in was in poor overall condition. It experienced repeated flooding from leaks in neighboring apartments, a leaking AC unit, roach problems, ceiling leaks, and mold on ceilings and windows that appeared to be painted over. There were also strong chemical odors from a nearby make-ready unit that forced us to temporarily leave the apartment. The quality of make-ready and paint work was very poor, reflecting broader management and maintenance concerns. After moving out, management did not return my security deposit or provide itemized deductions within the required 30 days, then later attempted to charge me for floor patching that I consider normal wear and tear. When I sent a formal demand letter, I received no response and the matter was sent to a debt collector instead. Based on my experience, the units appear poorly maintained and move-out disputes are handled unprofessionally. Proceed with caution and document everything if you choose to rent here.

Dwell at 1600 is the worst apartment complex in College Station, and probably the first world in general. We moved in to painted-over roaches a nasty mold problem, and a live infestation featuring roaches from every stage of life. The small German roaches that infest homes and eat human food, not the big ones. They were on every surface of our "future home," and when we asked about them, they blamed us for choosing to move in on a sooner date they offered themselves. Like it was our responsibility to clear them. Every interaction with staff was a catastrophic encounter of management failure. They are sinister and pernicious vultures who take advantage of any ignorance you have of Texas property code. They were not capable of stopping the infestation. Their solution to the mold was to paint over it, leaving the same soft, rotting wood beneath it. That was an apt metaphor for how this complex is managed. Do not believe their replies when they promise resolution. They simply forward you to the regional manager, who has the liberty of ignoring your communication. It is very likely your apartment will never achieve the habitability Texas law guarantees renters because the building is so old. If you are in a dispute with them, consider arbitration, and then suing if it doesn't work out. Take advantage of free legal counsel from the people who wish well for this world. None of them work here. If I had to spend a thousand lifetimes in absolute destitution, I still wouldn't choose to live here. The people who runs this place have missed their calling, which is ironic in a growing city full of opportunity. Avoid Dwell at all costs.

DO NOT RENT HERE! YOU'VE BEEN WARNED. Take a look at the dilapidated conditions of this complex. Walk the grounds, do not look at the photoshopped website. Management is non-responsive - tough to get on the phone and does not maintain weekend hours. They love to tow cars but have no issues with the grass getting to 10" tall and couches sitting in the parking lot. This is nothing more than a slum lord with a fancy website.

Me and my pregnant wife are very unhappy. Nobody has came to fix our air conditioning in our apartment. It’s been a week. All this money for a hot apartment is not right. Living here for a year and the ac has broken about four times with weeks with them not get fixed. Not getting reimbursed nor put in a hotel is unjustified.

It is a decent apartment complex but is showing its age. The exterior of all of the buildings could use a new coat of paint or a pressure washing at the very least. Management is very nice, but can be a bit slow in responding to repair needs. The on-site repairman is very courteous. Some repairs are more patched than repaired and attention to detail is non-existent. I would recommend giving an apartment a good scrub down before unpacking as they don't do a true deep cleaning between tenants. Rent isn't too bad but is about $100 per month more than it should be for the age, condition, amenities and location of the complex.
